A tier is essentially a level of an organized structure, so therefore the word for 'age grade' can be used to represent it.

Tier - uke

Tolaaaaannni: Absolutely! Matter of fact I think any parent that don't want their children to learn and speak their language is an embarassment to the place of their origin.

I couldn't have said it any better.

A typical example is Indian hemp smokers. They only understand languages relating to Indian hemp. When an Indian hemp smoker is talking, his spirit can automatically tell him to shut up and he will obey. The same Indian hemp spirit can equally order him to pull off his clothes and go Unclad

This Indian hemp analogy is hilarious! "Indian hemp spirit" indeed!

Chimaaba: Salut.

Would someone be willing and graceful to assist me to put the following into Igbo - as a gift for my father?

Father you have fought well!
As a child I looked up to you,
But I am now a man, so I walk my own path and make my own decisions.

Because of you, I honor our ancestors and love my people.
I will follow your example, and serve Ndi-Igbo.

Here you go:

Nna m, i luola ogu ofuma!
Mgbe m bu nwata m no na-ele gi anya,
Kama ugbua awu m nwoke, ya mee m na na-ejere onwe m na-eme kwa ihe na uche onwe m.

That thing that you see there isn't a strange language, it's pure Arochukwu Igbo. Was it hard for you to understand?

Agriculture in Nigeria isn't taken seriously. Most farmers are still using primitive equipment and outdated farming methods are still practiced.

However, strides have been made to increase food production in places like Ebonyi, Enugu, and parts of the Middle Belt.

very interesting

MsDarkSkin: istaag ama waan ku tooganayaa

lol i dont want to replace anyone. but thats for the kind words!

Could you guys have this conversation elsewhere? This thread is meant solely for serious discussions and is targeted towards improving the culture section.

And np.

MsDarkSkin: odumchi, about my proposal.

What you're doing is like telling a king to hurry up and die so that you (the prince) can inherit the throne. Lol.

Personally, I've noticed that you are an active and appreciated poster in this section and we're grateful for your contributions. Just keep on doing what you're doing (and try to avoid trouble) and if a position comes up, you can then approach it confidently.

That's the best that I can say.

MsDarkSkin: odumchi,

i am serious bro.

recommend me for the position.

i am the best candidate!

Lol.

Ndi Anambra, ndaa aga inyinde mere? Azaa m Anambra, m za Abia. M si ka m juoteri: ndaa ihe anyinde nde awuu nde Anambra ma eme?

I'm sure you've observed how this medium has allowed your topic to reach its intended destination (the front page).

I'd like to once again encourage all others that have interesting topics to take advantage of this thread just like Amor4ce has.

Viewing this topic: ChinenyeN (m)

Chinenye, m hula gi ebe I na eghemagari ka eke aguu na agu. Lmao.

MsDarkSkin: I understand.

And no I am not afraid lol.
I really want to learn.

Okay, lol. There are a few documents online that guide you step-by-step on the Igbo-learning journey. Good luck!

MsDarkSkin: How difficult do you think it would be for a foreigner (anglophone) to learn to speak Igbo? Im interested.

Not to scare you away, but it will require a lot of time, hardwork, and dedication.

If you want to learn the Igbo language, I would be glad to support/direct you however I can.

somalia4: i didnt even say the N word once. am so disapointed in you. The standards in this place are slipping. You can ban once you show me your high school diploma, cause your definition of trolling is much diffrent than mine.


I dont remember nigerians being this weak in hearing others ideas. Times have changed.

Just to make it clear, none of your accounts, except for your previous, one were banned in this section; meaning I wasn't responsible for your ban.

We have a strict policy against trolling (which includes but is not limited to): purposely derailing threads, attacking members, and posting unauthorized pictures. Anyone of these actions warrants a ban.

ifyalways: sounds more like snoring to a regular Anambarian. so how would you say "to snore" in Aro ?

Ikwo ura.

NRI PRIEST: Mana enwere mu ike ide Igbo ndi Imo nke oma. Odum,Igbo ndi Umuahia di uso...Ugochi...chai! I miss her. Ibadiala "ekpe" sef ?

Abanyebeghi m Ekpe. Nke ahu ga eche tutu mgbe ozo m laruru Arochukwu.

Kedu kwan maka otu Ikenga?

ChinenyeN: Odumchi, how is it said in your lect?

Iro ura - to be drowsy.
M n'ero ura - I am drowsy.

NRI PRIEST: Odogwu Aro,kedu etu imere? Ama mu na akwukwo na aga nke oma. Nsogbu adighi,ma oli. O budi soso Ndi-Anambra no ngaa,otutu Ndi-Imo juputakwara ngana. How do you like my Igbo

Ndeewo oo.

somalia3: oduchima

You were banned for trolling.

Nice pictures, Nedu.

I'm guessing that you have just participated in your own Iwa Akwa, lol.

Anyway, do you guys have Ozo na Nze in your part of Enugu?
